Vanderbijlpark man arrested with 40 high calibre firearms, 2000 rounds of ammunition

A cache of more than 40 high calibre firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition was discovered in Vanderbijlpark by officers who responded to a domestic violence case, Gauteng police said.

Spokesperson Brigadier Mathapelo Peters said a woman contacted police on Thursday (19 December) about a “dispute” at her home.

“While the police were inside the house, their observation and focus led to the discovery of 43 firearms of different calibres and approximately 2 000 ammunition, some concealed in containers,” Peters said.

“A 31-year-old man has since been arrested after he could not provide satisfactory answers or prove the validity of such a large quantity of firearms and ammunition. Also, no proper documentation was produced to substantiate the storage of weapons.”
